I am a final-year PhD candidate working with Daniel A. Epstein in Informatics at University of California, Irvine. I'm a recipient of the Google PhD Fellowship in Human-Computer Interaction (2023-2025). I’m on the job market! As an HCI, CSCW, and Health researcher, I’m open to tenure-track faculty positions and research-oriented industry roles. My research examines how health monitoring technology can better account for infrastructural complexity of clinical and public health care. I completed a MS in Computer Graphics Technology (Thesis advisor: Austin Toombs) at Purdue University, a BA in Information Science & Culture, and a BA in Consumer and Child Studies at Seoul National University. Outside school, I have worked as a research intern with Young-Ho Kim at NAVER AI Lab and a researcher at the National Center for Mental Health in South Korea with Hwajung Hong. |
